## Resource

Alaska’s Senate race just got wilder with a surprise twist: a new candidate named Dan Sullivan is challenging the incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan, creating a historic name clash. The newcomer, from Petersburg, says he’s tired of self-serving politicians and officially filed his candidacy Friday. The current senator declined to comment, but state law will use middle initials to distinguish the two on the ballot. With multiple contenders now in the race, this quirky but serious showdown is already turning heads and could reshape the election’s dynamics.
